Why Is Maxine Molyneux Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Maxine Deirdre Molyneux is a British sociologist whose work focuses on the women's movement. That women's interests and gender interests are different categories is the discovery for which Maxine Molyneux is most frequently cited. Her focus is women's movements, and her central question is how they and the state influence each other. Interests and law are the categories under which she examines the changeable and shapeable relationship of the gender order and the state. She wants to bring back the state and the political subject into the thinking on modernisation, democratisation and development.
